Hey guys! I hope you had a great weekend, whatever you've been up to. I spent mine getting uni work done (being a week in not only terrified me, it actually made me productive!) and celebrating my 21st birthday with family- my sister and I were shocked to see our Auntie (who lives in Spain)… Continue reading Shortbread biscuits

The Great British Bake Off: Week 5
Paul and Prue added another chilli to the already hot competition with a set of new Bake Off challenges, in a competition that's already been full of great bakes, handshakes and plenty of mistakes! (You can read my thoughts on the previous weeks: one, two, three and four) This week the bakers faced Spice Week,… Continue reading The Great British Bake Off: Week 5
Butterfly cakes
Hey guys! Hope you've had a great weekend, whatever you've been up to! I spent mine trying to get some uni reading done, babysitting my little nephew and getting stuff prepped for my 21st birthday (which I'm sort of in denial is happening if I'm completely honest). I guess that explains my choice for this… Continue reading Butterfly cakes
The Great British Bake Off: Week 4
We're four weeks into the current series of The Great British Bake Off and so far there's been plenty of Hollywood handshakes, heavenly (and hellish) bakes and heatwaves in the Bake Off tent. (You can read my thoughts on the previous weeks here: Week 1, Week 2 and Week 3) This week the bakers faced… Continue reading The Great British Bake Off: Week 4
Chocolate brownies
Hey guys! I'm back with another baking post! It's not as exciting as last week's (with Rocky road and flapjacks, you guys were spoiled!) but- I promise you- they're just as delicious. Don't get me wrong, I've made Chelsea buns and more 'savoury' bakes before (The small amount of Food Tech I did at school… Continue reading Chocolate brownies
The Great British Bake Off Week 3
The Great British Bake Off kicked off two weeks ago and, let me tell you, it's been exciting! There's been a dodgy looking biscuit baby, a French contestant dropping an 'F' bomb (on British TV? Before the watershed? Shocking, I know) and three Hollywood handshakes (so far). (You can read my thoughts on Week One HERE     and my… Continue reading The Great British Bake Off Week 3
Rocky road and flapjacks
Hey guys! I'm back with another recipe post. This time, I decided on celebrating the second episode of the current series of The Great British Bake Off (you can read my thoughts on the episode HERE) by making not one but two sweet treats. To mark the second episode of GBBO, I thought I'd make… Continue reading Rocky road and flapjacks
The Great British Bake Off Week 2
The Great British Bake Off returned to our tellies last week (you can find out what I thought about the first episode HERE) and if you couldn't tell already I was pretty excited! My sense of excitement was ramped up a notch this week as the baking competition continued, this time with Cake Week (to… Continue reading The Great British Bake Off Week 2
Marble cupcakes
Hey guys! It seems apt for me to post this recipe, staring outside at a rather bleak looking Sunday sky, as nothing makes me feel better on the most drab of days than baking. It also is pretty apt considering, this Tuesday on The Great British Bake Off, it's Cake Week. So, instead of slaving… Continue reading Marble cupcakes
